Hi everyone,
I just bought EOC (having played and completed the original IW ages ago) and it seems great, but I’m having a little difficulty getting started. I’ve completed the first missions and I’m into Act 1, and it seems I’ve reached the free form piracy section.
The problem is finding suitable targets for piracy. I’ve cheched out almost everywhere in the Griffon system, but all the “corporate” areas are crawling with fighters and I get wasted immediately. 🙂
Some of the other areas (like the Samarkand L-Point) seem more promising, but there are usually only a couple of cargo ships and there are still usually plenty of combat ships around – and generally the cargo ships promptly vanish into LDS anyway.
I could just be totally inept, but it seems that most combat seems to result in my tug getting almost instantly wiped out – the learning curve seems quite steep on this game (although I can manage to kill the first 8-10 ships or so in instant action with the tug). Yes, I’m using the lateral thrusters. 🙂
So, any tips? How should I know which cargo ships are worth attacking, and won’t provoke too much retaliation?
Cheers,
Contact.
